Hebrews 2:15
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Study Note
Christ's deliverance includes freeing 'them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage' — identifying existential death-anxiety as a form of slavery from which the gospel liberates. The bondage-to-death motif connects to Romans 8:15 ('you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear') and 1 John 4:18 ('perfect love casts out fear, for fear has to do with punishment'). Hebrews 2:14-15's logic is that the incarnation enabled death (shared humanity), which destroyed the one who had the power of death (the devil), thus liberating those enslaved to death-fear — a chain of reasoning that links anthropology, Christology, and soteriology. The existentialist reading of this verse by figures like Paul Tillich ('the courage to be') found deep resonance with its ancient psychological insight.
